In each of the three prosecutor's speeches, the language was a concoction of Old English and ultra-modern slang, which had the student body roling in the aisles.

Boasting a record membership or 97 during the 1940-41 period, it ds expected that this year's roster will exceed 150 Chemistry, Engineering, and Physical Science students. The club was shelved in the early days of the war when the number of Weber engineering students dropped to a low of 10.

"In its previous years numerous social activities were sponsored and the club used its prestege in aiding Student Body activities. The Engineering club also participated in and sponsored inter-club athletic and social activities.

Of the 450 junior colleges in the nation, only 14 others were listed in this revealing poll which Included elementary schools, public high schools, and state colleges across the country. The October first edition revealed that Weber was the only school of any kind listed from Utah, and the only college rated among those of the intermountain states. It is an enviable and significant fact that Weber has been rated in this survey. First to appear at Weber College from the roster of famous and distinguished persons comprising the lecture series this year, will be Miss Erika Mann, noted woman war correspondent. Commencing at 8:15 p. m. on the night of October 21st, in the college auditorium, the program promises the best in interest and educational value. By her distinguished achievements in many fields, as an author, foreign correspondent, radio news analyst, playwright and actress, Miss Mann has won world-wide acclaim. A leader of democratic thought and action, she brings a realistic and vivid picture of the significance of current events in Europe. Raised in Germany, Miss Mann has dedicated herself to the destruction of fascism and the vigorous promotion of democratic ideals. Unlike most, who fled to America at the start of the fascist terror, fchis brave woman traveled throughout Europe wherever the tension was greatest. Before the war she visited Spain and Czech-oslavokia at the time of the Munich crisis, and during the war she was in London at the height of the German bombardment, broadcasting for the B. B. C. During 1943-1944 she was accredited to the U. S. armed forces as the only woman correspondent in the Middle East. After the war, she spent over a year investigating conditions In post-war Europe as correspondent for Liberty magazine, The London Evening Standard, and oftimes The New York Herald Tribune.

Coming from a family of no mean literary ability, she has every hope of realizing her ambition.HOMECOMING DANCE FRIDAY AFTER GAME Tussle Students Schedule Dance in Ballroom Following Game Powerful Pasadena will come to Ogden to renew hostilities with the Wildcats of Weber Friday night in Weber's homecoming game. The game is looked to as the big game of the season for local fans. Kick-off time is 8 p. m. in Ogden stadium.Following the game the student body will hold a homecoming dance in the college ballroom. Before the war Weber and Pasadena were intersectional rivals :'n some great games. Of their last two contests before war interrupted their rivalry, each team won one game by a single touchdown. The coast team plays a colorful brand of ball and according to reports they use a lot of passes and laterals that make for a game interesting and thrilling for the spectators.Upwards of 6000 fans are expected to be on hand for the homecoming classic. Coach Milt Mecham will field a slightly revamped lineup against Pasadena. With Harry Soteras out with a shoulder injury it looks as if Wayne Hansen will get the starting nod at left end. Hansen, who snagged a pass in the end zone for one of the extra points in the opener with Boise, will be holding down the one wing while Gary Gourley, his former Ogden high school teammate, will be on the other. Gourley has been playing classy ball, snagging difficult passes and looking impressive on defense. At tackle Merrill Crosbie and Mark Nisbet, former South high star, will be in the lineup.Co-captain DeWayne Randall and Dave Mason are slated to get the nod at guards. Both have been rugged performers in previous games. Filling the pivot post is Coach Mecham's big headache. Never to well stocked with centers, the squad has been hit hard by injuries in that position. Walter Sorenson and Darrell Weller are both out with injuries, and just who will fill the slot is a big question mark. In the backfield Glen Higginson will be calling the signals,Co-captain Dick Williams and Odell Anderson are good bets for the halfback spots, and Lloyd Thompson has a head start for the fullback berth. Pasadena has a powerful back-field to send against the Wildcats. Heading the backs at left half is Roy Langley, former All-Los Angeles league halfback, 198 pounds of speedy dynamite. Coach Tom Mal-lory's probable starting eleven will be Baker and Ivanovich at ends, Marshall and Parsons, tackles; Kunkel and Bedall, guards; Hatch, center; Principe at quarterback, Langley and Etnyre at halves, and Liddle at fullback. Pasadena racked up a 13-12 victory over a strong Compton junior college eleven last week in the famous Rose Bowl. 733 Enrolled in Evening School Reports J. Benson Ambitious students. 753 in number, have taken advantage of Weber's extensive evening school program, it was revealed in an interview with John Benson, chairman of the committee on evening and summer school. Mr. Benson also asserted that approximately 250 more, who cannot attend day sessions, are expected to further their education by enrolling in these nightly classes. Eighty-four classes are given by 55 instructors during the hours of 6:00 t ol0:00 p. m. on weekday evenings. Courses cover many phases of education from academic and professional curricula to business, mechanical, and homemaking classes. Among special courses are those in the CAA ground school, for which 100 students have enrolled, and the scheduled classes in Radio Link trainers. These evening school courses and their credits are applicable to transfer as well as terminal curriculm.

Coach Milt Mecham will field a slightly revamped lineup against Pasadena. With Harry Soteras out with a shoulder injury it looks as if Wayne Hansen will get the starting nod at left end. Hansen, who snagged a pass in the end zone for one of the extra points in the opener with Boise, will be holding down the one wing while Gary Gourley, his former Ogden high school teammate, will be on the other. Gourley has been playing classy ball, snagging difficult passes and looking impressive on defense. At tackle Merrill Crosbie and Mark Nisbet, former South high star, will be in the lineup.Co-captain DeWayne Randall and Dave Mason are slated to get the nod at guards. Both have been rugged performers in previous games. Filling the pivot post is Coach Mecham's big headache. Never to well stocked with centers, the squad has been hit hard by injuries in that position. Walter Sorenson and Darrell Weller are both out with injuries, and just who will fill the slot is a big question mark. In the backfield Glen Higginson will be calling the signals,Co-captain Dick Williams and Odell Anderson are good bets for the halfback spots, and Lloyd Thompson has a head start for the fullback berth. Pasadena has a powerful back-field to send against the Wildcats. Heading the backs at left half is Roy Langley, former All-Los Angeles league halfback, 198 pounds of speedy dynamite. Coach Tom Mal-lory's probable starting eleven will be Baker and Ivanovich at ends, Marshall and Parsons, tackles; Kunkel and Bedall, guards; Hatch, center; Principe at quarterback, Langley and Etnyre at halves, and Liddle at fullback. Pasadena racked up a 13-12 victory over a strong Compton junior college eleven last week in the famous Rose Bowl. 733 Enrolled in Evening School Reports J.
